KPK verifying BPK chief wealth


The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said Sunday it had been verifying the wealth of Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) chairman Hadi Poernomo.

"We have yet to finish the verification," KPK spokesman Johan Budi said as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com.

KPK began to examine Hadi's wealth report on Feb. 9. Hadi reported a number of grants including land in Los Angeles worth US$50,000, in West Jakarta (Rp 4.99 billion), and in South Jakarta (Rp 3.16 billion).

Based on the report, the Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW) has called on KPK to trace the grants.
